a WOMAN S WORD.

Oh ever when the happy laugh is dumb,
All the JOY gone, and all the anguish come
when strong adversely and subtle pain
Wiring the sad soul and rack the throbbinr
brain
When friends once faithful, hearts once all oul
own,
Leave Us TO weep, 10 bleed and die alone
When fears and cares the lonely thought en-
ploy,
And clouds of sorrow hide the sun of Joy
When weary life breathing reluctant breath
Hath no hope sweeter than the hope of death
Then the best counsel and the last relief
10 cheer the spirit or to cheat the grief
The only calm, the only comfort heard,
Comes IN the music of woInan's word
Like beacon bell on some wild island shore
Salyery ringing in the tempests roar
Whose sound, borne shipward through the mid
night gloom,
Tells Of the path and turns her from her doom.
E,itrir Arnold.

The LIGHT AT ENEN-TDE.
The day was dark and dreary,
A day OF storm and rain;
With sound of ghostly fingers
Upon the window pane.
And ne'er a gream of sunshine,
The cold. gray sky around.
Day too, of sad repining,
For what my life ne'er found.
Worn out with vain regrettings
For things that ne'er could be,
Weary of counting over
My graves OF memory,
Iope'd the book Of comfort,
And from its pages read
Sweet promise from the prophets,
Who i'll their dark day said:
g Forever gone the darkening night,
At even-tide..He giyeth light"
Twas like a voice from heaven,
These royal singers song
OF faith in endless goodness
And triumph over wrong.
When days are drear with tempest,
In patient truth III bide,
Remembering promise olden:
"Of light at eyen-tide."
When 10 as the chapter
Re-read, my hoping heart
Beheld the clouds of sunlight
Like curtains sway apart.

That did my soul becalm,
While wrapped in sunset glory,

A merry boy one summer day
Within garden fair was found
His heart was full of childish play,
While sunshine beamed on all around;
When DER his head bird he spied
Alighting on branching tree,
And picking up stone he cried,
Now swift and sure my aim shall be ~
Just then there came gush OF song
So sweet, the boy grew hushed and still;
He heard the notes so clear and strong
Which seemed the summer air to fill.
His arm fell down, his heart was stir ed,
He felt he could not harm the bird.

for long time to grant $50 per month to
the widows of officers of high rank.
These pensions TO widows of naval officers
are paid from what is known as the naval

the officers and men of the navy, and naval

fund to which they have contributed, and
which they look upon as sacred to that pur-

that it is the first of its kind ever transmit

Sewell, in his report makes the following
scathing review of Mr.. Cleveland's very ex-
traordinary paper: "The president does the

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Extra state Pay Disallowed to "A Soldier
Who Left the Army for the Navy

A decision has just been filed by Judge
Walker of the Supreme Court in the case
of Joseph Brown VS.. William II. Dubois
State treasurer, which was heard at the May
term in Washington county. Brown was a
private in company A, 10th Vermont vol
unteers, and by the terms of his enlistment
had agreed to accept such bounty, pay, ra-
tions and clothing as were or might be es-
tablished by law. At that time Vermont
was paying s. "A month extra to such sol
diers. After serving from September
1857, to April 21, 1864, and drawing pay as
provided he voluntarily transferred himself
to the navy under the provisions of an act
of congress for that purpose. He served
until May Z, 1860, and was then honorably
discharged. His state pay of 81 a month
ceased while he was in the navy, but he
felt himself entitled to it and finally
brought petition for mandamus to have
the State treasurer directed to pay it to him.
Gov Ormsbee caused the suit to be defend
ed and the result is that the claim is dsal-
lowed and the petition dismissed. In the
course of the decision Judge Walker SAYS:
The right of any person in the United
States service upon the quota of Vermont
to 81 per month extra pay from the State
depends entirely upon the statute laws of
IL
as are within the provisions of the same.
The right does not depend solely upon the
fact that the person was credited upon the
quota of men required TO be furnished by
the State, but upon the rank of the soldier
and the organization in which the service
was performed. The petitioner while in
the naval service as a seaman, was not emit
tied to the extra pay of s, per month from
the State unless his right thereto is estab-
lished by some statute law. All the acts of
the legislature upon this subject restrict
the extra pay granted by TIE State to sol
dlers serving as commissioned officers.

vice of the United States in some Vermont

detached companies of Vermont troops in

governor of the State: and such soldiers are
entitled to receive such extra pay only for
